Yeah clearStyles is already enabled in my case, but that doesn't seem to work well in many cases. Either way I'd expect the Custom Code component to be somewhat "containerized" so it's not leaving anything in the doc when removed.

Thanks for reporting this, @stpp2.

Great question about CSS added via custom code persists after custom code component is removed. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
